I regret to relay a report that our IUSSCAA member, NCC (Ex-OTC) Clifford J. Walz, USN (Ret) passed away from heart failure Saturday morning, 22 April. He was 85. Cliff was a plankowner OT who was serving as Career Counselor at Brawdy, 1975-77 when I knew him; he later converted to the NC rating.
I know the Name but didn't know Cliff personally. Regardless, always sad to hear of the passing of a system guy.
May his family find peace in the memory of happier times.
Sad news indeed. Cliff was an STG2 when I worked with him on Guam as a plank owner. A great fellow and solid leader, you could always rely on Cliff to "get it done." I served with him again at CUSL. The day I retired, Cliff was in the audience. He watched over my entire career. My sincere condolences to his family. Remember the good times!
